    Larry Merchant's Comments

    I know that most here, hate Merchant because of his derrogatory comments and offensive questions, but can you recall a comment that you liked, agreed with, or thought it was creative. I got one. It was when Trinidad faced Whitaker and Merchant said that Pernell was the kind of boxer who could make Michelle Pfeiffer look bad. I thought it was an almost funny line.

          Merchant is the reason why hbo commentating team is the best. Without him they would be boring.

            Okay, gonna pay for this, but he occasionally makes a remark about Jones' losses of late, in a 'subtle' manner, while Jones is sitting there beside him commentating. (Dont hate me for pointing it out, or for enjoying it when he does it Ya'll are use to me by now, and I've behaved lately)

              Oh, but that is true. They have always been Roy and De La Hoya huggers.

                I think what kills me the most is that he says something like "yeah, just ask Roy" (or something like that) and Roy's just sitting there, right beside him

                  You can't stand their nuthugging. What about the bummed they sounded when DLH "fell" against Hopkins? Even though it was all a joke, Lampley sounded like a member of his family had died. When he said something like "He hasn't been down in five years and it doesn't like like he'll get up".

                    Hey, Lampley is the worse...thats why I love when Steward is there...he's usually not that bias (and knows what he's talking about, which is a bonus). Remember last week when Roy was "pulling" for that guy (I think the Aussie) and all of a sudden they ALL were just dying for him to open up and do something. So, when he did do something, it was the most awesome thing in the world. I think it was the last fight before the Morales-Barrera fight. I kept thinking "yeah, now that ya'll know ole Roy is wanting him to win and thinks hes great, you've all decided to pull for him too"....THINK FOR YOURSELF, thats what I've always liked Was it that Hussein fella?
